Biggest lie we African elites tell ourselves is that we are independent. There is no political freedom without meaningful economic ownership and control.
My 2009 experience with him: Nga I take to him a gu A3 printout with ki-headline around 'Bashir dismisses ICC warrant of arrest'. @Kalinaki got the ka pen and wrote: Go chew your warrant,
Bashir tells ICC
Since then I became 'liberated' via headline writing.
But, how do we consider ourselves an independent, self-respecting country when weβve never awarded national medals or honours to Maddox, Chance Nalubega or Prince Job Paul Kafeero?
We are on what?
@AhmedAidarus_@chechebooks Well done, AA. When @cobbo3 and I brought MM to Nairobi in 2014 to pilot what was hoped to be an NMG EA University Debate series I was shocked at how little many people knew about his work and scholarship. Great to see the candle being relit.
